Shear-wave velocity profile at the Texcoco strong-motion array site, Valley of Mexico

The shear-wave velocity profile at the Texcoco strong motion accelerograph array site was evaluated down to 39 m using Seismic Cone Penetrometry (SCPT). The hard layer from 28 m to 29 m was drilled to allow penetration to greater depths. The results are compared with those obtained from shear-wave r...
